Academic Employee Relations [AER]

Understanding the Discipline Process

The discipline process is designed to provide a fair and consistent method of addressing issues of performance and conduct. Academic Employee Relations is available to consult with faculty, management, and union representatives to interpret the Collective Bargaining Agreements, Education Codes, and university policies relating to the discipline process.

Employees are entitled to union representation during an investigatory interview, i.e., any time the supervisor questions the employee to obtain information which could be used as a basis for discipline or asks an employee to defend his/her conduct. If you have questions regarding the discipline process, please contact your union representative.

Resources In addition to Academic Employee Relations, the CSULB campus community has two very important resources that are available to assistant them. The Office of the University Ombuds and the Faculty and Staff Assistance Program (FSAP) are campus-based programs that offer a wide variety of services.
